NEW EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Moorhead to BE the Probable Site of the
Minnesota Methodist College.
MooRHEAD, Mimi, Oct. 81 The Meth
odistS of Northern Minnesota and OF
North Dakota are taking steps toward the
founding ef a large educational institu-
ton, which will probably be 7ocated in
this city. The commissioners were
appointed by the Minnesota confer
ence committe at its late session, and it
is understood that the North Dakota
MithodiSts followed their example, and
the appointed commission have already
entered into negotiations in regard to
site. 1t seems about decided that, either
this city or Fargo will be selected as the
site of the institution. One of the most
beautiful sites under consideration is a
portion of Woodland park, Moorhead, on
on the bend opposite the Fargo water
works. 1t is understood that MI. A. A.
White offers to sell his fine residence and
other house and fifteen acres of land, well
timbered, for about $40, GOO. Another
site which is understood to be under con-
sideration is the homestead, in Fargo, of
the late John B. Raymond, upon which
the mortgage has been foreclosed, and
the committee is waiting to see if Senator
Sabin intends to redeem the property on
behalf of the Raymond heirs. 1t is in
tended to open this institution as an
academy first, and allow it to grow into
a more important educational institution
as circumstances demand.
